Step 2

Set up your organisation and site

The setup wizard guides you through creating your organisation and first site. You can use GPS to auto-fill your address, validate your ABN, and set the primary industry (for WHS first-aider ratio calculations).

  • Enter your ABN — validated live with the ATO checksum algorithm
  • Tap "Locate Me" to auto-detect and fill the site address via GPS
  • Invite team members and assign roles: Admin, Inspector, First Aider, or Viewer
  • Multi-organisation supported — manage multiple workplaces from one account

Step 3

Add kits from 232 pre-built templates

Choose from 232 pre-configured templates across 10 categories — or start with a blank kit and build from scratch. Templates come pre-loaded with items, quantities, and expiry guidelines.

  • FastAid — 101 kits, Australia's leading workplace first aid brand
  • St John Ambulance — 68 kits, trusted AU provider
  • Survival — 37 kits for outdoor, remote, and emergency use
  • Generic — 26 kits including AED, fire extinguisher, office, and vehicle types
  • All templates marked as WHS-compliant where applicable
  • Scan item barcodes to add items, or use OCR to scan expiry dates from labels
  • Create custom templates from any kit and reuse across sites

Step 4

Run an inspection in under 2 minutes

Open any kit and tap Inspect. A progress ring fills green as items pass — giving you an instant read on how far through the kit you are. Each item row shows a live ± counter: tap − or + to count what's actually in the bag without opening the row. Tap the circle icon to mark pass or fail.

  • Smart fail reasons — when you mark an item fail, one-tap chips appear: Low Stock · Expired · Damaged · Missing. Pre-fills the note field automatically.
  • Inline expiry correction — tap any item's expiry date in the expanded view to correct it on the spot, no need to leave the inspection
  • Medication warning — items containing paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, or other medications show a compliance warning (Australian first aid kits must not contain medication)
  • Resupply Now or Later — at completion, if items are short of their max quantity, choose to restock on the spot (kit passes, Xero invoice generated) or flag for resupply later (kit fails, resupply order saved, follow-up inspection when stocked)
  • Certificate shows Counted / Resupplied / Total columns per item — full audit trail of what was found and what was added

Step 5

Get a compliance certificate instantly

The moment you submit an inspection, FirstAidLog generates a WHS-compliant audit report as a PDF. Share it immediately or store it in your evidence bundle for regulator submission.

  • QR code on every certificate — auditors can scan to verify authenticity
  • Includes inspector name, site, timestamp, item-by-item result, and compliance status
  • Evidence bundles — package multiple inspections, certificates, and training records for submission as a single document
  • Certificate lifecycle tracking — see which kits have current vs overdue certificates

Step 6

Log incidents the right way

When a workplace incident occurs, use the multi-step incident reporting wizard. Record everything you need for WHS compliance — including injury classification, treatment provided, items from the kit that were used, and witness details.

  • The app automatically flags potentially notifiable incidents based on injury severity and type
  • For notifiable incidents, it shows the correct state regulator contact details (all 8 AU states and territories)
  • Incident records are linked to the kit and site for full audit trail continuity

Step 7

Track training records and certificates

Add first aid qualifications for every team member: HLTAID011 (Provide First Aid), HLTAID009 (Provide CPR), and any custom qualifications. FirstAidLog tracks expiry dates and alerts you well in advance of lapse.

  • Alerts at 90 days, 30 days, and 7 days before expiry
  • Use your phone camera to scan and extract text from physical certificates (OCR)
  • Pending / verified / rejected workflow — admins can verify submitted certificates
  • Expired certificates affect the site's compliance score and are flagged on the dashboard
  • Training records are linked to the relevant regulatory first-aider ratio requirements for the site's state

Step 8

Connect your accounting and notifications

For inspectors running a first aid compliance business: connect Xero to automatically generate draft invoices from completed inspections. Set up Slack for real-time alerts to your team channel.

  • Xero — creates draft invoices, syncs contacts and chart of accounts. OAuth 2.0, draft only (cannot approve or send). Available on Inspector, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans.
  • Slack — sends Block Kit notifications for inspections, incidents, expiry alerts, and training expiries. Available on all paid plans.
  • QuickBooks Online — coming soon. Will mirror the Xero workflow for draft invoices and customer sync.
  • Push notifications — native iOS and Android alerts for reminders and urgent compliance flags
